An experimental investigation of Colonel Blotto games
No full textThis article examines behavior in the two-player, constant-sum Colonel Blotto game with asymmetric resources in which players maximize the expected number of battlefields won. The experimental results support all major theoretical predictions. In the auction treatment, where winning a battlefield is deterministic, disadvantaged players use a “guerilla warfare” strategy which stochastically allocates zero resources to a subset of battlefields. Advantaged players employ a “stochastic complete coverage” strategy, allocating random, but positive, resource levels across the battlefields. In the lottery treatment, where winning a battlefield is probabilistic, both players divide their resources equally across all battlefields. -- Dieser Artikel untersucht das Verhalten von Individuen in einem „constant-sum Colonel Blotto“-Spiel zwischen zwei Spielern, bei dem die Spieler mit unterschiedlichen Ressourcen ausgestattet sind und die erwartete Anzahl gewonnener Schlachtfelder maximieren. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse bestätigen alle wichtigen theoretischen Vorhersagen. Im Durchgang, in dem wie in einer Auktion der Sieg in einem Schlachtfeld deterministisch ist, wenden die Spieler, die sich im Nachteil befinden, eine „Guerillataktik“ an, und verteilen ihre Ressourcen stochastisch auf eine Teilmenge der Schlachtfelder. Spieler mit einem Vorteil verwenden eine Strategie der „stochastischen vollständigen Abdeckung“, indem sie zufällig eine positive Ressourcenmenge auf allen Schlachtfeldern positionieren. Im Durchgang, in dem sich der Gewinn eines Schlachtfeldes probabilistisch wie in einer Lotterie bestimmt, teilen beide Spieler ihre Ressourcen gleichmäßig auf alle Schlachtfelder auf.Colonel Blotto,conflict resolution,contest theory,multi-dimensional,resource allocation,rent-seeking,experiments

Colonel Arthur Graham Butler’s ‘Allegiances’: Today’s ‘Military Health Service Missions’
No full textThis article follows previous papers by the author regarding occupational and environmental medicine in the ADF. These articles, as well as a 2019 Productivity Commission inquiry,11 explain why high workplace illness and injury rates confirm the need to improve the management of hazards associated with ADF workplaces, with better emphasis on prevention. This article expands on these papers, regarding what Colonel Arthur Graham Butler referred to in his official WWI medical history as the ‘allegiances’ of military health services, and how, in today’s parlance, these can and should be considered their elemental and enduring ‘missions’
